Step 1.
Start out by picking your pencils. I used an HB pencil for sketching/shading, a 2B pencil for dark shading, and 4H and 2H pencils for light shading and lines.

Start out with a basic sketch. Sketch down the blue guidelines before the orange ones. Don't worry about making everything perfect. Just try to get a decent representation of the figure and clothing.

Step 10.
Start shading by starting at the face. You'll most likely return to the face again before your drawing is complete so just aim to add a basic layer of shading. I relied mostly on my 4H, 2H, and HB pencils for this.

Step 13.
Start shading in his armor and clothing on the left side. You can use a needle or just a sharp object to add in the scratches on his armor. Use 4H and 2H pencils on the lighter parts of the armor and HB and 2B pencils for the dark shading.

Finish up the drawing by adding more layers of shading to the torso, darkening and redefining the face, and cleaning up the background. Also try to define those single stray strands of hair as much as you can. The add a lot to the drawing. I hope you
